Hi

I have three questions:

1) I came to US in Sep 2005 on F1 visa. Last time I went to my home country in December 2006 and came back in Jan 2007. What will be my filing status , either resident or NR for tax return of 2008.

2) Last year I used turbo tax, made a mistake and filed 1040 instead of
1040NR (filed as Resident). I come to know this recently. How do I file an ammendment for this. Which form to use?

3) I graduated from school in December 2007. I started to work in a company from in March 2008 on OPT and my H1B started in October 2008. I have come to know that I can get back my Medicare and SS Employee deducted from my paycheck throughout last year. Which form to use? Is this refund related to my resident status.

Thanks in advance.
